About Me

I'm a born again Christian, married to a wonderful husband for 18 years. I have three children, and five grandchildren. I also have two step-daughters. We are empty nesters though, so in my spare time, I love to go to my little craft area and make cards. It is an addiction...
I've always had some kind of artistic craft going on in my life. Quilting, Counted cross stitch, scrapbooking, you name it. But when I purchased my first stamps, I knew it was something I could really love. It really grew after I was led to Splitcoaststampers, where I learned a lot about design, techniques and products to help my creativity! Now, I am totally addicted to Papertrey Ink. They have wonderful designers, and fabulous products. And, I've made some really nice blog friends too.

Make It Monday #115: Beyond Paper with Impression Plates

Had to put on my thinking cap for this one! No aluminum tape, but foil. Wait, foil is too flimsy! So... I pulled out my sticker machine and after I ran the foil through it, there was enough stability to run it through the cuttlebug to emboss! I had to leave the backing on, so it was adhered with my tape runner.

This is going to my step-daughter later this month for her birthday. It's on a Blueberry Sky base, and I stamped some white clouds from Up,Up and Away across the top. I used a scissors and followed the curves of the waves. The flip-flops have sequins that a forum friend sent me, with a little rhinestone added in the middle. :) Now...I'd really like to think up another item to impress.

Yippee! It's Friday, and I don't have to work tomorrow!!! Happy weekend to you!
